crazy glue

Quick-bonding sticky stuff

Crazy Glue is a brand name for cyanoacrylate adhesive—a fast-bonding glue that sets in seconds and forms an extremely strong bond on contact with moisture.

The generic term crazy glue or superglue describes any such adhesive: I crazy-glued the handle back on.

The name suggests the adhesive's almost unreasonable bonding power.
